Silver birch trees, a favorite in Australian landscapes, are increasingly at risk from pests and diseases. One common issue is birch leaf spot, caused by fungi that lead to yellowing and premature leaf drop, leaving trees vulnerable and unsightly. Additionally, pests such as aphids and the bronze birch borer can cause severe damage, weakening the tree's structure.
